Bio-diversity

Environmental capacity-building to be developed between CERMO and small farmer organizations is the proposal of this project. Environmental problems caused by conventional agricultural practices will be the focus. These conventional practices eventually exhaust the soil and the resources. Alternative practices offered by CERMO will leverage small farming by adding environmental conservation techniques. A participative assessment of the main environmental degradation causes in the agroecosystems will be carried out. This will help to improve the use of local native flora and fauna through the implementation of agroecology in the demonstrative units. Integration of socio economic and environmental dimensions will be sought for promotion of local sustainable development. Techniques for management and conservation of the soil will be disseminated. Young adults, men, and women will have conscience-building activities for environmental conservation. This initiative will take place in the municipality of Uni o, in the state of Piau .
